Re: Off Season News, Rumors, and Trades, etc. 2013

Serious question again Kstat: Do you think Josh Smith is a lock down wing defender? I was always under the impression that his defense was always a tad overrated because of his shot blocking totals.

I look at Josh Smith's perimeter defense like how we look at Granger's defense.....it's above average....but only when he wants to try on defense. I think that he did a really good job on defending PG in the Playoffs. I seem to recall that once the Hawks decided to put Josh Smith on PG on a regular basis ( as opposed to putting Korver on PG ), PG had to actually work for his points.

Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.

This is David West, he is the Honey Badger, West just doesn't give a *****....he's pretty bad *ss cuz he has no regard for any other Player or Team whatsoever.

I wonder how the financials are going to break down... I am not surprised to see Tyler get the QO (honestly was the only realistic move as long as West hasn't signed yet) but I also think there is a very good chance we keep him. Pendy not getting the QO is interesting though.

Assuming Watson is making somewhere around 2 mill a year it will be interesting to see where the rest of our cash goes. I am hopeful that a Carl Landry type could be signed for the MLE (5.15mill I think?)

Probably to Cope and Tony Allen. Or Cope and Paul Milsap? I think not pursuing Milsap is a mistake. We should at least send feelers out.

Watson
Stephenson
Hill
Copeland
Mahinmi

that is a pretty good bench IMO, shooters like Watson and Copeland, and Stephenson as a slasher, we need to improve Copeland on D if we are going to sign him though, playing with George and Hibbert will help, but Vogel needs to teach him that end of the floor
